Suggestions for reading?

[Guest guest]

I would like to get some suggestions on books on the theology, philosophy or

methodolgy for Kundalini yoga and its long time practioners. I thoroughly

enjoy reading your online lessons Gururattan. As well as the other

supplements you produce. I read some of them and it seems you are speaking

directly to what I need to know. Especially the one on addiction. I kept

saying "YES! Exactly!" And they also make me ask more questions and curious

about things I have never considered.

 

I would love to read more on many areas such as becoming comfortable with

the polarities of life, karma, darma, the neutral mind and many other

aspects of daily living.

 

Have you ever thought of or have you wrote a book that combines the

knowledge you have in many of these areas?

 

I'd love to have something as reference when faced with lifes "good sense

of humor", shall we say.

Dear Deb,

This is a little different than what you asked for but the books by Ken

Wilbur are very interesting. The short version is A Short History of

Everything. And the tomb which took him 6-8 years to write is something

like Sexuality, Spirituality and Consciosness. (not sure of last word.) In

my academic moments I would like to teach a course from this book.

Thanks. This is good.

Have you read the Mind and its Fascets by Yogi Bhajan?

Yes, I think about writing books all the time. I have a lot of unpublished

books that cover these topics.

 

Thanks for asking.

Dear fellow readers:

There are several "classical" yoga books, along with the Yoga Sutras

of Patanjali: the Gheranda Samhita, the Shiva Samhita, the Hatha Yoga

Pradipika, and the Gorakshashatakam. These works probably form the

foundation of most modern writings.

 

You might want to explore SpiritWeb, which has lots of resources and

references about different yoga paths - you'll get lots of book ideas

if you go cruising around this site. Start at:

 

<http://www.spiritweb.org/>

 

And select "Yoga Paths". In particular, don't miss this:

 

<http://www.spiritweb.org/Spirit/hamstra.html>

 

I like to re-read that from time to time for inspiration.

 

> like Sexuality, Spirituality and Consciosness. (not sure of last

 

I'm sure GKK means "Sex, Ecology, Spirituality" - a wonderful book!

I would also throw in Talbot's "The Holographic Universe",

Grof's "The Holotropic Mind", Wolfe's "The Dreaming Universe",

Hofstradter's "Godel, Escher, Bach", and the book that started it all

for me, Pirsig's "Zen & the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" (and if

you liked that, you have to read the sequel, "Lila"). Ah, so many

books, so little time...

 

Love to all,

Sadhant
